Thompson, Mose - Mr Mose Thompson, whom we mentioned sometime ago as being confined to the state hospital, died Sunday night and will be buried Wednesday, July 6.

Thompson, Mose - Mose Thompson died Monday, July 4, 1904, at the state hospital, at the advanced age of 77 years. He had been living the past year or two with his children in this vicinity and was gradually breaking down. A few weeks ago his mind became deranged and he was sent to the hopsital for treatment but no good resulted. He was born in Tennessee, near Knoxville, and came to this county early in the 60's where he resided many years and was a prominent citizen. Although uneducated he possessed rare business tact and at one time was very wealthy, owning large land interests and a heavy dealer in stock. But reverses overtook him and his wealth vanished in a few years. He went to Kansas City and lived with a son many years till returning here. It is said that he made the remark that he had come back to die, while he might not have meant it just as the termination resulted, yet he closed his long career on the land that was once his own home and near the place of the family residence, as much of the state farm now belonged to him years ago. The funeral took place yesterday at 10 o'clock at the Christian church and his remains laid to rest in the city cemetery. He was the father of nine children but only two were present at the funeral, although several grandchildren were there. Page County Democrat, Clarinda, Iowa, July 6, 1904

Ed. Pace and wife of New Market attended the funeral of Mose Thompson yesterday, Mrs Pace being his niece. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Jun 7, 1904

Mose Thompson of Kansas City attended the funeral of his grandson Pearl Thompson. He is still visiting friends at his former home in the early days of this county. He left here about twenty-two years ago, but his changed appearance by these long years does not prevent acquaintances from recognizing him. He is the same Mose of olden times. Thirty odd years ago he was one of the largest real estate owners and stock shippers from southwest Iowa, but the latter business brought him financial reverses—a fate that over­took many another man in these times of varying markets following the war— and gradually his wealth was transferred to other hands. But he was a man of strong determination and has been doing well the past few years. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 24, 1902
